Book Review: The Ocean Between Us - includes GIVEAWAY


Summary:
Tuesday April 27th, 2010.

Steve Bennett is a perfect navy officer with a perfect navy family and he's confident that his world is just the way it should be. But his son wants to be an artist instead of attending the U.S. Naval Academy, and his stalwart and capable wife of 20 years, Grace, is tired of being the perfect navy wife. She wants her own home, and she wants her own career. She's feeling altogether unsettled, but nothing is more unsettling than the secret her husband has hidden from her their entire marriage. Nothing, that is, until the accident on the carrier.


I LOVE Susan Wiggs books. They always seem so real.  I've read just about all of them.

This is an amazing book. Granted I am not a military wife and don't really know how military life is, but I guess I can imagine a life like this. It's one of those books that draws you in until you finish reading. You want to find out what's going to happen next and if there will be a happily ever after; for all the members of the family. You can purchase a copy here OR you can enter to win one of the three prizes below! :)

  5. Lots of things make me happy... I enjoy reading, swimming laps (at the Y w/ no kids around), walking through a field of wildflowers (as long as I've had my allergy meds), etc. :)
